Geometry of oblique projections

E. Andruchow, Gustavo Corach, D. Stojanoff (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Let A be a unital C*-algebra. Denote by P the space of selfadjoint projections of A. We study the relationship between P and the spaces of projections P a determined by the different involutions a induced by positive invertible elements a ∈ A. The maps φ : P P a sending p to the unique q P a with the same range as p and Ω a : P a P a sending q to the unitary part of the polar decomposition of the symmetry 2q-1 are shown to be diffeomorphisms. We characterize the pairs of idempotents q,r ∈ A with ||q-r|| < 1 such that...

Geometry of the spectral semidistance in Banach algebras

Gareth Braatvedt, Rudi Brits (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let A be a unital Banach algebra over , and suppose that the nonzero spectral values of a and b A are discrete sets which cluster at 0 , if anywhere. We develop a plane geometric formula for the spectral semidistance of a and b which depends on the two spectra, and the orthogonality relationships between the corresponding sets of Riesz projections associated with the nonzero spectral values. Extending a result of Brits and Raubenheimer, we further show that a and b are quasinilpotent equivalent if...

Global Existence and Boundedness of Solutions to a Model of Chemotaxis

J. Dyson, R. Villella-Bressan, G. F. Webb (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

A model of chemotaxis is analyzed that prevents blow-up of solutions. The model consists of a system of nonlinear partial differential equations for the spatial population density of a species and the spatial concentration of a chemoattractant in n-dimensional space. We prove the existence of solutions, which exist globally, and are L∞-bounded on finite time intervals. The hypotheses require nonlocal conditions on the species-induced production of the chemoattractant.

Global existence for a Riccati equation arising in a boundary control problem for distributed parameters

Franco Flandoli (1982)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Si prova resistenza globale della soluzione di una equazione di Riccati collegata alla sintesi di un problema di controllo ottimale. Il problema considerato rappresenta la versione astratta di alcuni problemi governati da equazioni paraboliche con il controllo sulla frontiera.

Global existence for coupled Klein-Gordon equations with different speeds

Pierre Germain (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Consider, in dimension 3, a system of coupled Klein-Gordon equations with different speeds, and an arbitrary quadratic nonlinearity. We show, for data which are small, smooth, and localized, that a global solution exists, and that it scatters. The proof relies on the space-time resonance approach; it turns out that the resonant structure of this equation has features which were not studied before, but which are generic in some sense.
